Speakers make the difference…
You may have a great radio with an MP3 plug in and you may have some great pre-recorded tunes, but if you don’t have great speakers to play you music through, it just won’t stack up as a great listening experience. In today’s world of high tech and new designs of just about everything you can imagine, there really is no excuse for not having sound equipment capable of handling the output your radio is sending to your existing speakers. Why not try upgrading to marine speakers!! They are high quality, produce a great sound, and are waterproof so you no longer have to limit your imagination as to where you will use them! They can go in the back yard, on your boat, or inside if you choose! Speakers do make a difference in you listening pleasure. Happy Boater.
Make your weekend an “event”…
Now, obviously I’m not talking about the new TV series with the same name. I am talking about the great experience you and your guests can have when you turn on the tunes in your back yard, or on your boat! This past weekend we had the most wonderful weather you could ever want for this time of the yearon the north shore of Lake Superior! We had warm temperatures as well as a strong breeze to keep the flies away and keep us cool. What a great time to sit back, turn on the tunes with your Marine Radio Receiver, and enjoy the great out-of-doors!! You are no longer limited to listening to what a DJ decides to play over the airwaves – you can simply plug in your MP3 memory stick or your I-Pod pre-recorded music and listen away!! Yesterday I actually went out on the lake in a very small paddle boat and just drifted in the wind for a long while. Although it was impossible on that small craft, I did think how nice it would have been to simply have some nice music playing as I drifted along. Enjoy your week! Happy Boater.
Sound doesn’t get better – just the equipment does!!
I recall driving down the road in cars that didn’t even have an FM band available on the radio!! The only thing available was the old AM radio band. Unless you were within 50 miles of the broadcasting station you could just about forget it. Bringing back any memories for any of you?? Then there were the earth shaking inventions that hit the market – seemingly all in a bunch!! There was the 8-Track tape player, then some car radios came with an 8-track built in. Along with these you could wire in a “reverberator” into your car’s sound system which gave the sound kind of a hollow sound. The Cassette tapes followed that. Then the FM Converter allowed folks without an FM radio to hear FM music stations by plugging them into your cassette player slot. CD’s naturally followed this and this opened up the “digital” field. Now everything is digital which has improved sound quality immensely!! I know I dated myself by even writing this, but who cares!! I think it’s fun to remember all these things and to know that I lived through the transition of it all. My grandson came to our house and I was converting a lot of my old LP records into digital on my computer so I could download them to an MP3 or WAV format for listening. When he saw the LP record, he gasped that he had never seen such a big CD in his life!! haha!! …the world goes on….. Anyway I ended up with my music recorded into a digital format and am now able to take my music with me when out on the water and play it through my marine radio receiver which plays through my waterproof marine speakers on board. Great Sound!! Happy Boater.
Back Yard Symphony…
Just about annually my wife comes up with these “remodeling” ideas for our property. I’m quite sure that none of you ever have experienced this! haha!!! Sometimes the remodeling involves moving a wall, window, or door – or sometimes it is landscaping in the back yard! Now, this can be fun! There are waterproof marine speakers available now that can produce a very high quality sound when used as the output speakers through a stereo player or by simply using MP3 or I-Pod pre-recorded music. Why not make the most of your remodeling project and wire your outdoor back yard project with sound?? You are only limited to your imagination because the quality speakers do the rest for you! A nice addition to this sound system would be a marine radio receiver to power this system. Aren’t wives wonderful!! Happy Boater.
Music is nice – even when fishing is bad!
Did you ever have one of those days when just about everything you put on the end if your hook isn’t viewed with the slightest amount of interest by the fish?? I sure have. As a matter of fact, it happened just yesterday! I couldn’t get anything to bite no matter what I did. Eventually, we just broke out the “snack bag” we took with and sat back, plugged our favorite music into the MP3 adapter on our marine radio receiver and just enjoyed great music, fresh air, and good conversation. Now – that’s really not all that bad, is it?? Just think – you get to be outside on a wonderful day, and when you get back I didn’t have to clean any fish!! Better luck next time! Happy Boater.
Marine Radio receivers add enjoyment!
There are a lot of marine radios on the market. Some of them even allow weather channel information to be picked up for the safety of all those on board. With the new technology out there, one would have to wonder why everyone wouldn’t have a high quality marine radio receiver
installed on their pontoon, their boat, or even installed on the patio in the back yard of your home! What a nice addition to any gathering of friends – music, music, music! With the new marine radios, you have the option to play your own favorite recorded music as they have a place to allow you to plug in your MP3 player or your I-Pod. Then there’s nothing else to do but to sit back and enjoy your day on the water with your friends! Happy Boater.
Speakers make a good system great!
When you insert your MP3 player or your I-pod into the receptacle on the back of your marine radio, what kind of sound do you have? Is it distorted on the low notes? Is it hard understand the words sung? Maybe it’s just plain irritating with the tinny sound you hear! The problem may not be with your radio – it’s possibly with the speakers! Speakers have come a long way nowadays with their waterproof design for the marine speakers. Add that missing element – clarity to your music enjoyment! Add a pair of very affordable high quality speakers to your sound system and experience the difference! It’s like day and night! Enjoy. Happy Boater.
Tired of “squeaky and squawky”?
Does your current sound system sound a bit squeaky and squawky? You know what I mean – the words are hard to understand, the music, when played through your system is anything but pleasant, and sometimes it would sound better if just left the switch in the “off” position. I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be like that and it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to get the sound you deserve! I have to wear hearing aids in my ears and I can tell you that if I don’t have good quality sound coming out of the speakers, I have a hard time understanding the words. If any of you have to wear hearing aids, you know exactly what I mean. Do yourself a favor – make a small investment in sound equipment to gain a large return in satisfaction and listening pleasure. Consider a marine radio (so you can use it outside on your boat, pontoon, patio, etc) with a set of marine speakers to round off your sound system. Many marine radios will allow your to play your pre-recorded MP3 and I-Pod tunes though the sound system by simply plugging them in! Enjoy. Happy Boater.
Add the Music Dimension to your Party…
It’s a nice day – you have a few friends coming over – you want to make an impression on them. Why not put them on your boat or pontoon, spend a day on the water! That is really a great way to spend the day!! One dimension to your party that you don’t want to sell short is fine music. Nearly everyone likes music. It seems to be one of the few things that really cross international lines easily – a common thread of satisfaction which we can all enjoy. It’s really quite easy to provide that missing dimension to your party in today’s world. Many marine radios are available with MP3 and I-Pod plug-ins. You can play your own pre-recorded music through your speaker system on board your own boat! I would highly recommend choosing marine speakers vs standard speakers as they are not affected by rain or inclement conditions that we all encounter occasionally. Make fun memories this weekend. Install a fine marine sound system and party on. Happy Boater.
Remotes are nice…
How nice it is to be able to control your marine radio receiver with a remote control! Now, just because you have a marine radio, doesn’t mean that it only can be used on board a boat or pontoon! Many folks install them on their patios or on their decks. They have removable face plates and very inexpensive covers are available to further protect your equipment when not in use. They have the capabilities of allowing you to play your favorite pre-recorded tunes in MP3 or I-Pod formats by simply plugging them into your marine radio. From that point, there’s really nothing to do but to sit back and enjoy the ride! Invite some friends over and share the evening! Happy Boater.
